By Kyeland Jackson —

Faculty members voiced worries and anxieties during Wednesday’s faculty senate meeting.

It was the first meeting since state legislators passed Senate Bill 12, abolishing the board of trustees in lieu of members vetted by Gov. Matt Bevin and the state government and Senate Bill 107 which grants Bevin power to dissolve dysfunctional institution boards. Senators worry what passage of SB 12 and SB 107 means for future institutions. One tenet of SB 107 mandates a board is dysfunctional when it cannot reach a consensus to carry out primary functions.
